Help me find cheap tickets!

Hey guys,
I am planning a trip to paris to visit a good friend of mine. I am in madrid. I do not care how I get there, train, plane or bus are all fine. But no matter where I look I cant find anything under 150euros which seems ABSERD, considering paris is so close by. Can anyone help me find cheap tickets? Be it by plane, train or bus? Maybe one of those airlines is having a cheap sale or something. I need help I am really new at this.

I would like to leave the 31 of oct or the 1 of Nov MADRID-PARIS
I would like to return the 4 or 5 of Nov PARIS-MADRID

At a Amsterdam Centraal I saw a sign advertising for 25 euro tickets from there to Madrid. I can't imagine that going to Paris is that much more expensive. If all else fails try Madrid to Amsterdam to Paris...
